<span style="font-size: 20px">&gt; Carla 2.4.4 and 2.5.0 released</span><br/>
On <i>2022-07-16</i> by<i> falkTX</i>
</p>

<p>
Hello again everyone, it is 2 Carla releases on the same day!
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://kx.studio/carla" class="external free" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Carla</a>
is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers and plugin formats.<br/>
It has some nice features like automation of parameters via MIDI CC (and send output back as MIDI too) and full OSC control.
</p>
<p>
The reason for 2 releases is so there is an update to the 2.4.x series, being shipped in some Linux distributions that do not update packages to new versions.<br/>
Hopefully the bugfix is possible to push-through for such cases.<br/>
The <a href="https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/releases/tag/v2.4.4" target="_blank">2.4.4 version</a> does not have prebuilt binaries, it is meant only for those building from source.<br/>
For the <a href="https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/releases/tag/v2.5.0" target="_blank">2.5.0 version</a>, we have a couple new things.
</p>

<h3>JSFX</h3>
<p>
JSFX (those nice little FX from REAPER) make an appearance, contributed by Jean Pierre Cimalando.<br/>
Alike LV2 handling on Carla, you do not need to manually scan for these, Carla will automatically find them if you have some paths set.<br/>
If you have run REAPER before, you most likely will have a bunch of new plugins available to use right away.<br/>
Note that custom UIs for those are not supported yet, to be implemented later.
</p>

<h3>SDL engine driver</h3>
<p>
A new engine driver makes an apparance, for SDL (both v1 and v2) which is handy when building for systems where neither JACK or RtAudio works.<br/>
The main targets for this driver are HaikuOS and Web-Assembly, the latter one which has already been verified to work.<br/>
I am sure there will still be more tweaks needed, but at least audio should now work on HaikuOS too. I will investigate more in depth later.
</p>

<h3>Updated core modules</h3>
<p>
And finally, built-in DPF and JUCE have been updated to their latest versions.<br/>
This required changing some deep internal code to match the updated APIs, so it cannot be pushed as bugfix.
</p>

<h3>Changelog</h3>
<p>
That is mostly it for now, there are a few other minor changes and fixes too, changelog follows below.

<li>Add JSFX plugin support</li>
